The hot-air balloon festival in Sussex is in the news for not charging admission.
The festival is set to happen Sept. 9 to 13 this year. Normally they would get some funding from a certain Provincial festival fund, but rules changed regarding that funding. The balloon festival would have to charge admission in order to qualify for the funding. A quote from an article in the Times Transcript says, essentially, that they will never charge admission to the balloon festival grounds ... so the festival has to get funding elsewhere. They do have a line on some other funding btw.

We also have the provincial blue-green algae tracker on our Summer Weather Page at NewCountry969.ca/storm.
